I'm just getting to grips with it. I can only compare it w98 which I had been using since, er... 1998.
So far I give it 7/10. It hasn't dissappointed but it hasn't "wowed" either. So far its been stable and trouble-free, which is basically all I want an OS to be.
I appreciate the ease of importing pics and the inter-operation of various applications. But its overly loaded with eye-candy, I could care less about "aero-glass", and it's bit of a memory hog (on this PC anyway).
It really comes into its own when running Office applications especially in a networked environment.
My wife's had it on her work PC for about 18 months and she says its an enormous improvement over XP.
So all-in all I'd say plump for it and then take up the upgrade offer to Windows 7 which is being offered on-line.
Hope this helps.
